Pages 11-20:
Don't get where gamma's light TR on Dunn comes from in 253. Him suggesting the possibility of "town that just wants townreads" is one of the most bizarre takes I've ever seen. Catchup is leaning a little too toward the informational side, attacking Rosé for fluff is feeling opportunistic
Bell suspecting Akarin and Dunn in 264 is actually pretty good, lines up with what I was thinking. Might have been reading too much into his intro.
Gamma's "I think both Akarin and Bell might be scum, but I don’t think both are simultaneously rn." in 273 is a pretty big fence-sit.
I have no idea why Akarin calls DGB's vote towny in 284.
Again don't really like DGB suggesting S/S interaction between Bell and Dunn, seems a very farfetched theory.
Bell's response in 301 feels natural, unbothered, while Gamma taking that joke overly literally in 302/304 is suspect because I have a hard time believing anyone is that credulous.
308 Dunn asking how he's been awkward is...awkward.
NVM, was reading too much into DGB's comments if 321 is saying it was all a joke. 322 about having an idea for the game is intriguing, townish? Feels too ostentatious for scum to bother with.
I don't get why Bell moves his vote to Gamma (324) after his interaction with Dunn (323), not that Gamma is especially town but leaving his vote on Dunn would have made more sense.
Okay, like Bell's 338 a lot, definitely a townread now.
I don't understand Iconeum's attacks on Hiraki (237) or Bell (349).
350 Iconeum saying he "didn't read a scum agenda" in Gamma's catchup is a very broad brush stroke, what clear positions does gamma have? Why's asking questions town in and of itself?
I went back to chck on gamma's catchup and here's the positions I found:
-Bell vs Hiraki is "silly" (246) but "Hiraki has a better position" (247), agrees with Iconeum that "Bell is pingy" (248)
This, I didn't have a problem with, because I saw the early game this way.
-A light TR on Dunnstral (253)
hard to see where this comse from
-liking Gún's contributions, but wanting Rosé to "step it up" (256), criticizing Rosé for lack of content (249).
feels like it's just repeating what other people have said at this point.
-akarin/bell COULD contain scum, but not both (273)
not really productive, leaves opena lot of possibilities.
-ABR and DGB are "somewhat townreads" (274)
-Disliking Iconeum's hiraki scumread (275)
On the whole, it doesn't feel like a whole lot. There's some stances in there, but most of it isn't backed up by much at all and his scumeads are pretty soft.
To me it looks like Iconeum might have skimread the catchup and decided it was town on appearance but I don't really see any interfacing with the actual content. Don't care for the response to Bell in 370, all smarm, not bothering to really interact with what Bell was saying.
Very much like Bell's meta-analysis of Uncrowned in 385, Uncrowned had been talked about a little but wasn't a major subject of discussion, the way Bell looked at him and DGB in 384 suggests someone trying to take a broader view of the game rather than remaining narrowly focused.
Gamma's skepticism of Uncrowned in 395 is slightly town, shows some sense that he's not coming from an informed perspective where it'd be easy to townread on play.
Like Bell's 402, don't like Akarin's 403 which looks like a very reachy defense of Dunn, cherrypicking a single comment to defend him from Bell's accusation of not doing anything but shading bell, seems to be missing the forest for the trees..
Johnny's 413 pings hard, I feel like forgetting about the game is a scum lurker excuse.
Mr Sandman's posts are ungodly boring. Continued push on Bell looks like a bad tunnel, although maybe a town one. Not sure why he lists Iconeum as a scumread in 424, got no sense of that from his catchups, seems very incompatible with his Bell read.
Sandman's 432 does have a decent feel of a new player trying to solve, looking for connections between players, read on Dunn just feels contrarian though.
Don't like Gamma's Bell vote in 436 at all. Bell's indignance in 441 feels town in the sense he seems to genuinely feel he should be getting townread.
Tanner's Akarin vote in 459 is pretty limp, only puts it forward with a "i wanna try something else" but no supporting case at all, first mention of Akarin anywhere. Otherwise Tanner seems to have faded from the game a lot.
Hate everything about Dunn's 493, not scumreading Bell but asking for him to be shot instead, generic explanation for voting momrangal.
I'm losing a lot of my townreads from them fading away.
Town reads: Bell, Hiraki, Mr Sandman
Null: Iconeum, Tanner, DrippingGoofball
Scum reads: Dunnstral, JohnnyFarrar, Akarin, Gamma Emerald
